Trinder Farm stays small and manageable, yet progressive with robots, wind and solar power

by Pat Malin FABIUS, NY — Progress could be the middle name of Trinder Farm LLC. In just the past five years, the Trinder Farm has arguably undergone more significant changes than in the previous 35 years since Tom Trinder bought the family farm.

Trinder and his management team, consisting of herdswoman Nancy Wood and night manager Brian McKallip, along with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County, hosted an open house on May 22 to show off the unique setup of this organic Dairy of Distinction.

Trinder purchased the farm in 1978, a few years after his father, Glenn, had sold it. The elder Trinder bought the farm in 1952 and milked just 75 cows.

In 1965, Tom Trinder decided to go to a free stall operation. In 2002, Trinder began pasture grazing and in 2006, converted every acre of corn into pasture and hay for 200-plus cows.

In 2009, the 202-acre spread became certified organic. In 2010, he installed a wind turbine, and in 2011, he retrofitted the dairy barn to house Lely A3 robotic milking machines. The robots were the biggest attraction for about 50 friends and neighbors who took the farm tour.

Trinder Farm now milks 120 Holsteins year-round out of a herd of 134 for Horizon. “We’re maximizing the computers,” Trinder explained.

“They’ve made us more profitable. It’s been a challenge for the heifers, but the robots are reliable.”

Trinder is happy with the current setup and has no plans to increase the size of the herd, his team nor acquire additional property. Throughout his management, he has purposely kept

the farm small and manageable. After all, he believes progress does not have to be synonymous with big.

“We’re one of the smallest farms left in the county,” he pointed out. “A lot of the larger farms might have found a niche market, but they have to be concerned about overproducing. At least we know that the organic market is increasing.”

David Skeval, executive director of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County, told the gathering, “Besides the labor part, Tom realizes that his vet bills are very low, perhaps no more than $100 total in the past year. The cows are more contented and healthier. He’s still milking 12-13 yearolds when 6-7 year-olds is the usual standard of longevity. The farm is also good environmentally. The cows average 66 pounds of milk a day and that’s good for organic.”

In 2009, the New York State Agriculture Department presented Trinder and his wife, Elaine, with the New York State Agricultural Environmental Management Award.

Trinder was asked what business decisions influenced him to buy robotic machines. “The staffing definitely comes into play,” he replied.

In addition to himself, there is Nancy Wood, a herdswoman with 36 years’ experience. Brian McKallip, a neighbor, has worked on the farm since he was 16. He is now 21 and has a twoyear-degree in criminal justice. He also works a fulltime job as a security guard at night.

Trinder and Wood admitted that it took several months to adjust to the robots. The learning curve was easier for computer-savvy McKallip, who can do simple repairs on the equipment

when necessary.

With the computer gateway and electric fences in place, the cows are directed through one-way chutes (Wood has to manually open the gates).

When the cows enter the barn, the computer reads their ID on their radiofrequency collar and only one cow at a time can be milked. The cow receives massaging comfort and each teat is washed and sanitized before the robot’s four cups move into place, guided by radar. At Trinder Farm, the water comes from a well. The front of the box has a trough where a cow can eat a measured amount of grain while she’s being milked.

According to Lely, the computer maintains a lifetime history of that cow’s milk production and feeding habits based on previous visits, and can adjust the rate of pulsation at the teat to produce the most milk.

“I determine how much grain is given, based on that animal,” said Trinder. When the cow, leaves the barn, perhaps feeling a natural “high,” she goes to a fresh pasture. She can return any time with a minimum of four hours between milkings.

“This cow never liked to be in the box,” commented Wood as one cow eagerly stepped into the gated parlor.

Salesman Whitney Davis of Finger Lakes Dairy Service noted, “The robot know what she needs. The robot is totally consistent. There’s no emotion involved (as there is) with a human doing the milking.”

While Trinder took a group of visitors through the barn, Wood led a second group up the hill to observe the Scottish-made wind turbine and the grazeways. The tower is 120 feet high with one 42-foot blade and produces 200 kilowatts an hour. The terrain of Pompey Hills in southern Onondaga County makes it ideal for wind power.

The turbines are distributed by Pyrus Energy of Weedsport, Cayuga County.

“There’s an updraft here,” Wood said.

“It’s one of the best locations in the state.” Trinder is pleased with the

In 2002, Trinder Farm LCC began pasture grazing and in 2006, converted every acre of corn into pasture and hay for 200-plus cows. In 2010, the farm installed a wind turbine.

It’s paid for itself and I get credit back from National Grid. I’m also going to put in 74 solar panels on the roof.”

The third element of Trinder Farm’s integrated grazeway system is his commitment to organic farming. “In 2008, my herdsperson (Wood) was diagnosed with lymphoma,” Trinder explained to his visitors. “Thank God, she’s in remission now. But organic seemed a good fit for our farm.”

Hay yields have improved under the farm’s nutrient management plan, and earthworms pop up everywhere.

Trinder and his wife have four children. However, three of them live in Virginia and one in Arizona. “If I had this (robotic) system sooner, I might have been able to retain them,” said Trinder. “Brian and Nancy made it possible.”

He can’t predict what will happen to his farm in the future, but he feels confident he’s made the right choices.

“I’m 65 years old, so I don’t have a lot of years left in this business. But if I want to quit milking I can sell the robots or take them out and still get 80 percent of their value back. And I can still sell the land.”

by Elizabeth A. Tomlin In a farm tour organized by the Montgomery County Soil and Water Conservation District and the New York Association of Conservation Districts (NYACD), two New York State senators were able to visit farms first hand.

Senator Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan) and Senator Cecilia Tkaczyk (DDuanesburg) toured several farms in the Mohawk Valley, where they were able to meet and speak with farmers about their concerns.

“Originally, the idea came from talking with Senator Tkaczyk earlier in the spring, about getting onto some of the farms in the county,” said NYACD Executive Director Judy Littrell. “She wanted to share the agriculture with her Senate colleagues, which is how Senator Kruger ended up coming along. Senator Tkaczyk invited her.”

Littrell said the tour was intended to introduce the farm families to the senators and show how their farms work as well as give them a chance to explain the challenges they face now and in the future.

The first farm visited was Glen Vue Farm, Fultonville, NY, which is owned and operated by the Russ Kelly Family.

Glen Vue milks 400 and has an equal number of youngstock.

Kelly said he wanted to show the senators what the SWCD does to help farmers and to show projects that had been done to comply with the farm’s CAFO permit.

“It also allowed the senators to see some of the extensive capital investment that family farms need to make,” said Kelly.

Dygert Farm, a 100-cow dairy located in Nelliston and owned and operated by Rob and Shannon Dygert, was next on

the agenda to be visited by the senators.

Highlights of the visit included discussing business plans, economics and the need for future expansion and growth of the dairy.

Dygert said his family wanted to let the senators “put a face” to the farmers to see who they are and better understand them and the challenges they are facing.

“Whether those challenges are environmental, helping to supply the local yogurt plants with more milk, or the rising cost and difficulty of farm labor.”

Dygert also wanted to show environmental management projects their farm is involved with that are partially cost-shared by the government.

A tour of the Palatine Cheese Plant, also in Nelliston, provided an opportunity for the senators to see how cheese is made and speak to owners, Carol and Earl Spencer. Earl, who was a dairy farmer for 36 years, spoke to the senators about several issues. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and the need for inspectors to be represented by NYS Ag & Markets was one issue. “New York State has a very good, active and knowledgeable inspection system, which we do not feel needs another layer at the federal level supplementing it,” Spencer said.

Spencer said the FDA was hiring new inspectors that “know nothing about dairy.”

Spencer also told the senators that there should be some level of exemption from federal regulations for small business plant owners. “Small plants do not have a quality control division that this work can be pushed onto and the ability for small plants to make many people “sick” is way more limited in comparison to the big “peanut butter plants.”

Montgomery County Agriculture Economic Development Coordinator Missy Potter (center) talks about her family dairy farm to NYACD Executive Director Judy Littrell, NYS senators Tkaczyk and Krueger, and Justin Ryan at Honorone Farm, Ames, NY, which was the last stop on the farm tour.

Fogarty Dairy Farm ~ Melrose, NY

by Katie Navarra In two years, Fogarty’s Dairy Farm in Melrose, NY, will celebrate its centennial birthday. Established in 1916 by John Fogarty, the 200 acre farm has specialized in milking dairy cows. “He was milking by hand back then so 20 was probably the most he (my grandfather, John) could milk,” Bill Fogarty, third generation owner/operator of Fogarty’s Dairy Farm, said, “he also had work horses for planting and harvesting the crops.”

The Fogarty family immigrated to the United States from Ireland in the late 1800’s and settled on land a few miles down the road from the current Fogarty’s Dairy Farm. John, Bill’s grandfather, left the original family homestead and purchased land of his own for $9,300. “When we remodeled the house, we found the original, hand-written deed to the property in a drawer,” Kathy, Bill’s wife, said.

As John’s family expanded, his son Gerald (Bill’s father) became actively involved in the day-to-day operations.

When John retired, Gerald took over fulltime and expanded the herd to 30

Dairy farming is a lifestyle for Bill and his family. He has worked on the farm his entire life. cows. In 1982, an addition to the barn was built to allow for further expansion.

The herd grew to 60 milking cows

and has remained the same size ever since. “At that time we were thinking small, we should have thought bigger,” Bill said, “we have always stayed about the same size since then.”

Fogarty’s Dairy Farm totals 140 cows, which includes milking cows, dry cows and young stock. “We used to raise and sell replacement heifers,” Bill explained, “but we stopped doing that a few years ago.”

Each morning and every night, Bill spends 2 1/2 to 3 hours in the stanchion barn milking. The barn and the equipment has remained pretty much the same as when it was installed 20 years ago. “It takes me a bit longer than it used to,” he said.

In between morning and evening chores, the cows spend their time on pasture. “Right now they are out eating grass and getting grain so their production is around 60 pounds per cow,” Bill added.

The family plants nearly 200 acres of crops on their own land to feed the cows, they also rent another 100 acres.

“We bale all our own hay and grow our own corn,” he said, “we hire out the chopping because it saves us a lot of time.”

Though Bill and Kathy’s three children, Kandis (Freer), William II (nicknamed BJ) and James have not followed in the family’s footsteps, they all help around baling time, “whether they like it or not,” Kathy laughed.

“James works on the farm part-time and BJ’s middle child, Lily, is the little farm girl,” she added. Lily, turns three this summer and enjoys helping grandpa. She eagerly jumps aboard the 4-wheeler to round-up cows at milking time, she is proficient at mixing the powdered milk for the calves and is developing strong muscles while bottle feeding the hungry calves.

Kandis, while not involved with the farm, maintains her ties to agriculture working as an educator for the

Rensselaer County Cooperative Extension. She also coordinates an annual field trip for 2nd graders from Hoosick Valley School District.

“It used to be kids from the city would come out to the farm because they had never seen a dairy farm,” Bill reminisced, “now they’re bringing kids from Schaghticoke, (Hoosick Valley a rural area) because they have never been on a farm.”

The second graders take a tour of the farm and are introduced to different aspects for farming. “We have a weeding station and a station where they can learn what is made using potatoes,” Kathy said, “and then they get a hay ride and that is their favorite part about the trip to the farm.”

“You have to be a jack of all trades,” Bill noted, “we do the best we can to keep the place looking respectable and we’re still here.”

National Grange releases comment on passage of Senate Farm Bill WASHINGTON, D.C. — On June 11, the National Grange released a statement regarding the 66-27 passage of the Senate’s Farm Bill, saying while hopeful we now wait again on the House for action on the nearly $1 trillion piece of legislation that affects every American directly or indirectly.

“While we’re happy that the Senate passed their version of the Farm Bill, we can’t help but feel a slight sense of deja vu. Last June we saw the Senate pass their version of the Farm Bill but the House didn’t even get theirs to the

floor,” National Grange Legislative Director Grace Boatright said.

“I’m hopeful that the house will pass their version of the bill this month, but realistically, we are still a long way from getting American agriculture a full five-year Farm Bill,” Boatright said. “We all have to keep working to let our elected representatives know how important the Farm Bill is to producers and consumers.”

National Grange President Ed Luttrell said the Farm Bill is an essential piece of the puzzle in stability in

NCBA president comments regarding Senate passage of 2013 Farm Bill WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Senate in a 66 to 27 vote passed the 2013 Farm Bill (S. 954) on June 10.

National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President Scott George, a dairy and beef producer from Cody, WY, issued the following statement on the passage of the legislation: “NCBA is very pleased with today’s passage of the 2013 Farm Bill by the Senate.

We commend both Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Senate Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Thad Cochran (RMS) for their leadership on this very important piece of legislation.

Cattlemen and women have been asking Congress to pass a farm bill which not only provides certainty for agricultural producers nationwide, but also incorporates priorities important to the cattle industry —

there is not a livestock title, conservation programs are maintained and the research title is sustained. We are also pleased that disaster assistance programs are included in this legislation which is a positive step toward providing a strong safety net for our producers.

“Passage of a 2013 Farm Bill is not only important to farmers and ranchers, but also to Americans nationwide who enjoy an abundant, safe and affordable food supply. We support the Senate’s passage of this legislation and will continue working with the House as they bring their version of the farm bill to the House floor this month. As Congress moves forward with the 2013 Farm Bill I urge family farmers and ranchers to continue their grassroots efforts and remain involved and engaged in this process.”

the market.

“Farmers are affected by so many variables, so a Farm Bill is important because it offers stability in the face of natural disasters, market shifts and so much more,” Luttrell said. “Every American enjoys benefits from a Farm Bill, from stable prices at the grocery store to continued research into best practices of farming and nutrition science. We look forward to the House taking action, but understand the two

bills are still far apart and advocacy to find compromise is important.”

Specifically, the House and Senate bills show about a $16 million difference in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

SNAP includes funding for more than 15 percent of Americans who currently receive what was formerly known as food stamps, along with money for reduced school lunches and other nutrition assistance programs.

ASA welcomes Senate passage of the Farm Bill With a vote of 66 to 27, the United States Senate voted to pass the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013, better known as the 2013 Farm Bill. The focus now shifts to the House of Representatives, where work is reportedly scheduled to begin soon. Passing a comprehensive, five-year farm bill is the top priority for the American Soybean Association (ASA), whose president, Danny Murphy, issued the following statement: “The Senate has again shown admirable dedication to passing a new farm bill that will provide certainty for soybean farmers and our fellow members of the agriculture community,” said Murphy, a soybean farmer from Canton, MS. “The bill passed this evening represents many of ASA’s priorities and is a critical step toward strengthening the farm safety net, protecting planting flexibility, improving conservation, bolstering exports and feeding our nation’s hungry.

“The bill also represents a commit-

ment from farmers to our collective national financial responsibility, cutting billions in spending and streamlining redundant and ineffective federal programs. It is a bill that provides much-needed certainty to farmers facing a mounting force of weather- and market-related unknowns, and we commend Chairwoman Stabenow, Ranking Member Cochran, members of the Senate Agriculture Committee and the entire Senate for its hard work.

“We now turn our attention to the House, and call on Representatives to move the bill quickly through the chamber this month and on to conference with the Senate before the August recess. The version of the farm bill passed earlier by the House Agriculture Committee cuts Direct Payments as part of $40 billion in total savings, and streamlines more than 100 federal programs.

“We look to both the House and the Senate to work together quickly to formalize this commitment to America’s farmers.”

NCGA congratulates Senate on Farm Bill passage, urges House action WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Corn Growers Association congratulates the Senate on passage of the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act (2013 farm bill). The legislation was agreed to by a vote of 66-27. NCGA now urges the House of Representatives to quickly follow suit.

“America’s farmers greatly appreciate the leadership and bipartisan efforts by the Senate to complete their work on the farm bill,” NCGA

President Pam Johnson said. “We also recognize the efforts put forth to address regional concerns to ensure all areas of the country are adequately represented in the final language.”

NCGA has worked to advance market-oriented reforms in commodity programs to address significant gaps in the farm safety net. The revenuebased Agriculture Risk Coverage Program, designed to complement pro-

ducers’ individual crop insurance policies, will provide protection against multi-year price and production declines that adjusts with the marketplace. This signature reform, coupled with a strong federal crop insurance program, will result in substantial budget savings for taxpayers and more effective risk management tools for corn growers.

“This legislation is long overdue and our work is still not done,” Johnson

Senate approves Farm Bill containing dairy policy reform ARLINGTON, VA — For the second time in a year, the Senate has approved a comprehensive farm bill containing the dairy policy reforms backed by the National Milk Producers Federation. The Senate passed the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013 by a vote of 66-27 on June 10.

The measure contains the Dairy Security Act backed by NMPF and its farmer members, which creates a more effective safety net for dairy producers.

“On this strong bi-partisan vote, the Senate has again shown its determination to put politics aside, and work to implement new and better policies for America, including the country’s dairy farmers,” said Jerry Kozak, President and CEO of NMPF. “NMPF appreciates the determination of the leaders of the

Senate, and in particular, the leaders of the Agriculture Committee, Senators Stabenow and Cochran, for shepherding this historic legislation through the Senate.”

The bill is similar to the farm bill approved last June 21 by the Senate, especially where dairy policy is concerned. The Dairy Security Act in the measure establishes a voluntary margin insurance program, allowing farmers to better manage the twin risks of milk price and feed cost volatility. The measure also features a market stabilization program to improve the cost-effectiveness of the program, helping farmers and taxpayers alike. The bill’s dairy title eliminates the MILC, price support, and dairy export incentive programs.

Demonstrating the strong momentum behind the Dairy Security Act there was no effort to significantly alter the dairy title during Senate consideration of the bill, Kozak said.

“We are very pleased at the progress made during this vital step in the Farm Bill process, but we also know that much work lies ahead,” he added.

“We encourage the House of Representatives to also support its Agriculture Committee-passed bill, and reject any dairy processor-backed amendment to undermine the bill’s effectiveness by removing the market stabilization program. Prompt action in the House is necessary so that farmers won’t spend the last half of this year like they spent 2012: expecting a harvest that never materializes.”

said. “Our focus now turns to the House of Representatives with hopes that they schedule floor time to consider the legislation as soon as possible.

We look forward to continuing to partner with agriculture advocates to pass a new common-sense, reform-minded farm bill.”

Peterson statement WASHINGTON, D.C. — On June 10, U.S. House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin C. Peterson, DMN, made the following statement after the U.S. Senate approved S. 954, the 2013 Farm Bill.

“Today’s Senate vote brings us one step closer to having a new, five-year farm bill in place this year.

Chairwoman Stabenow and Ranking Member Cochran did an excellent job and I applaud their leadership.

“This process has gone on far too long but with the strong bipartisan support in the Senate, I’m optimistic the House will be able to consider our farm bill next week. It’s going to be difficult but if everything stays on track, I believe it’s possible to get a bill to the President before the August recess, finally providing some certainty for our farmers, ranchers and consumers.”

Crop Comments

by Paris Reidhead Field Crops Consultant Gasping for air Last week (as I write) I received the electric bill for power consumed during May by Sue and myself. As always, there was a statement of average daily “juice” consumed for the previous month, compared to consumption of same month one year ago. And the good folks at NYSEG also cited the average temperature (recorded somewhere in Hartwick): May 2013 averaged 56 degrees Fahrenheit, while May 2012 averaged 59.

With our corn-centered cropping mindset, growing-degree-days (GDD) are calculated with a baseline of 50 degrees. A day which has a low temperature of 55 degrees and a high temperature of 75 degrees would have an average temperature of 65 degrees. Although I’m sure that sophisticated recording equipment breaks this reading down throughout the course of the day, rendering some sort of weighted tally for each 24 hour period.

Shortening this part of a long story, we see that May 2012 delivered the Hartwick area 279 GDD, compared to only 198 GDD this past month. Another way to look at it is that this month just past enjoyed about a third less functional growing season than did May 2012: we’re 10 GDD days behind this growing season compared to last year.

Again, these are corncentered ground rules.

Pastures and winter grains are not suffering quite as badly as corn planted this spring. Two killing frosts suffered last month by most of the Northeast didn’t help matters either. I haven’t seen any corn seedlings that were killed outright.

But about 10 miles from me, as the crow flies, is a piece of corn on flat land adjoining the Wharton creek. That corn was up about five inches when a heavy frost hit about three weeks ago (as I write). When I drove by that corn two days ago the light tan discoloration of the frostseared leaf tips was still very visible… almost frozen (literally) in time by the GDD shortage.

The rest of this week (ending June 15), according to my online Weather Bug, is only slated to average about nine GDD per day. GDD requirements run about 20 units per day of necessary growing season for corn; thus a so-called 90-day corn needs about 1,800 GDD. In a column early last July I wrote about Ogood fertilizers, a term which most younger people now farming aren’t familiar with. The “O” just meant that the fertilizer blend in question had zero nitrogen in its analysis. In that column, I recommended that

growers, particularly corn growers, in their minds, let the “O” stand for oxygen, acknowledging that this element is even more important than the N, P, and K listed in the guaranteed analysis. Those are the so-called big three. (Although, if we accept the crop’s need for sulfur, we now have the big four: N, P, K, and S.) In the last couple decades, sustainable agriculture began to gain momentum, as the organic movement experienced quantum leaps.

The ancient idea of feeding the soil first, thus enabling it to feed the crops, resurfaced. More

and more crop people, not just those certified organic (or hoping to become such) started thinking about soil biology, i.e., the tiny guys with the big names who make sure the crops get fed. In the mindset of more and more crop people, soil became something more than a rooting medium: soil now had a personality… if not a soul in the minds of some folks.

All these tiny guys need moisture and oxygen more than N, P, and K (and sulfur and magnesium, and all the trace elements). They use the oxygen pretty much the same way as all animals, including you and me.

Then they give off the used oxygen as carbon dioxide (CO2), used by plants to build energy (through photosynthesis)... basic plant science. Plant science becomes weed science,

when not enough oxygen is available to form the CO2 needed by the more finicky plants that we call crops. Annual grasses and other weeds do quite well in soil environments with little or no oxygen. Soil scientists call these conditions anaerobic, and anaerobic organisms are rarely farmer-friendly. Very often soils are desperate for more oxygen. And the best way to get O into the soil for row crops is rowcrop cultivation.

While county agent, during most of the 1970s, I got enthusiastic about row cultivation, way before the organic movement took off. I had discovered an ancient Cornell leaflet which dealt with cultivation (printed between World War II and the Korean War). That leaflet made a couple unforgettable statements.

The first point was that field corn, on average,

which had not been sprayed with herbicide, would experience a 17 percent improvement in silage yield caused by row-cultivation (presumably twice). The second point was that field corn which had not been sprayed with herbicide was also expected to experience a 17 percent improvement in silage yield due to cultivation.

Why did cultivation effect any yield improvement on sprayed corn?

In 1950 corn monoculture was extremely rare, so aggressive weed populations wouldn’t have been as common as they are today. Continuous row-cropping makes many weeds feel very much at home (like those annual grasses I mentioned earlier). At that time, absent modern-day chemical monoculture, the weed control benefit

With a vote of 66 to 27, the United States Senate voted to pass the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013, better known as the 2013 Farm Bill. The focus now shifts to the House of Representatives, where work is reportedly scheduled to begin soon. Passing a comprehensive, five-year farm bill is the top prior-

ity for the American Soybean Association (ASA), whose president, Danny Murphy, issued the following statement: “The Senate has again shown admirable dedication to passing a new farm bill that will provide certainty for soybean farmers and our fellow members of the agriculture community,” said Murphy, a soybean

farmer from Canton, MS. “The bill passed this evening represents many of ASA’s priorities and is a critical step toward strengthening the farm safety net, protecting planting flexibility, improving conservation, bolstering exports and feeding our nation’s hungry.

“The bill also represents a commitment

from farmers to our collective national financial responsibility, cutting billions in spending and streamlining redundant and ineffective federal programs. It is a bill that provides much-needed certainty to farmers facing a mounting force of weather- and market-related unknowns, and we commend Chairwoman

Stabenow, Ranking Member Cochran, members of the Senate Agriculture Committee and the entire Senate for its hard work.

“We now turn our attention to the House, and call on Representatives to move the bill quickly through the chamber this month and on to conference with the Senate before the August recess.

The version of the farm bill passed earlier by the House Agriculture Committee cuts Direct Payments as part of $40 billion in total savings, and streamlines more than 100 federal programs.

“We look to both the House and the Senate to work together quickly to formalize this commitment to America’s farmers.”

needed oxygen.

Fluffing up the soil drove oxygen into it, and the lack of this gas often limits crop production more than a shortage of N, P, K, and the other better-known nutrients.

An oxygen shortage can

be almost as detrimental to crop yields as a water shortage.

Cultivation makes more oxygen available to the soil, but it helps catch and retain dew moisture: this dampness is conveyed upward from below the

cultivation zone through capillary attraction provided by the fluffed-up topsoil. Ever notice how in moderate drought conditions row cultivation will cause “fired” corn to rapidly uncurl?

Another important endorsement for cultivation appeared in an article in this paper last year. Reknown Cornell weed scientist Professor Russell Hahn was addressing the issue of herbicide tol-

erant (HT) weeds. He recommended row-cultivation to control these HT weeds, because, to the best of his knowledge, no weed had ever developed immunity to steel!

Crop from A6 was likely less significant than the aeration benefit. Back then, sprayed corn fields, as well as un-sprayed corn fields, probably benefited from row cultivation for the same reason: the soil

Top reasons for choosing Postsaver USA boots and sleeves Postsaver® USA boots and sleeves offer a unique solution to prevent decayed posts. It’s a non-toxic and revolutionary concept for protecting in-ground wood from the harmful effects of ground contact decay.

• Protects in-ground wood from the harmful effects of rot and decay — Four conditions are necessary for the development of wood decay.

They include available oxygen, a favorable temperature, adequate moisture and available nutrients. If one or more of these conditions are not present, the wood will not rot. Postsaver’s technology is proven to keep the post dryer and extends the service life of in-ground wood.

• Impervious to subterranean termites and soil organisms — Postsaver boots and sleeves provide an impenetrable barrier that separates the wood (the food source) from the destructive effects of below ground termites.

Laboratory proven per AWPA E10 testing methodology (required for AWPA standardization). www.awpa.com/regulations/TechRegs_AppendixA.pdf • Protects wood from the harmful effects of rot caused by concrete —

Placing concrete around wood actually helps to promote decay because the concrete is semi-permeable. This means that the concrete will continuously absorb water like a sponge, making it constantly available to the surface of the wood.

Chemically preserved posts in concrete offer additional concerns: • Treated posts are typically installed at or close to their saturation point and dimension.

Shrinking is expected, creating a gap between the cured concrete and the shrunken post. This gap traps rainwater, exposing the wood to high levels of moisture. When the wood wicks up this available water, and the surface water disappears, an increased surface area of the wet wood is exposed to oxygen.

This circumstance creates a perfect environment for bacteria and fungus to thrive.

• The alkaline nature of concrete is known to have adverse effects on the effectiveness and longevity of preservative chemicals.

Postsaver USA’s protective wrap keep the posts drier, more dimensionally stable, shielded from surface water and oxygen

and provides a protective barrier from the alkalinity of concrete.

• Protects wood from corrosive soil agents.

Corrosive agents found in the soil will deteriorate wood cells over time and affect the performance of preservative treatment chemicals (especially those possessing metals such as copper and chrome).

• Complements pressure treated wood. Commercialized treated lumber used for residential construction and fencing is not intended for ground contact applications, and service life expectations are fairly short and inconsistent.

Frozen lumber (prior to treatment) and the natural features of wood — such as knots and heartwood — are resistant to preservative chemicals and exposure to rot and decay is expected.

Chemically treated lumber is known to leach preservative chemicals and insecticides into the surrounding soil, reducing the effectiveness of the preservative systems and negatively impacting the environment. Postsaver’s barrier keeps the preservative chemicals more available in the ground contact area of

the post and protects the surrounding soil from migrating chemicals.

• A must for naturally durable wood. Naturally durable wood species are considered naturally durable only if the post possesses 95 percent heartwood, which is costly and difficult to source. The natural oils found in the heartwood of certain species (such as cedar, locust, walnut, redwood and cypress) offer natural resistance to decay and insect damage. Within this category, most of the commercialized lumber used today does not possess sufficient heartwood and service life expectations are considered short term. Postsaver USA offers a sound solution to significantly extend the service life of natural wood offering beauty and safety to outdoor environments.

• Reduces chemical retention levels. Postsaver USA’s superior protection allows preservative systems and pressure treaters to lower chemical retention levels, eliminating the need for excess chemicals. This allows consumers to

source their wood economically and more friendly to the environment.

• Eliminates chemical preservatives in some applications. Postsaver USA is listed as a solution to utilize untreated wood in ground contact applications where the post system is not exposed to weather (such as posts and poles used in post-frame construction). The standards include using leachable chemical systems such as borates.

• Postsaver USA’s SmartPostTM is a smart choice for structural posts and poles. Benefits include: a. Eliminate the installation expense and use of concrete forms (such as sonotubes) and metal connections. b. Because a full-length post has no connections or weak points, better structural performance is expected. c. Possess a patented notch designed to resist uplift caused by stresses such as wind.

This enhancement offers superior anchoring capabilities and no special hardware or installation methods are required.

d. Testing proves that posts protected with Postsaver USA’s boots and sleeves remain dryer so the posts remain stiffer and stronger for better structural performance (dry use design conditions may be considered).

• Postsaver USA’s boots and sleeves work well with all types of wood — including round, rectangular, glu-lam and nail-lam dimensions.

• Reduced fastener corrosion. The relationship between moisture and highly corrosive chemicals are very harmful to metal fasteners. Because booted and sleeved posts keep the post dryer, and selecting lower retention levels (the amount of highly corrosive preservatives used) can be lowered, corrosion is reduced.

• Easier and cheaper to install. As compared to the costs associated with footers, pour and set times, j-bolts and hardware connections.

Growth Energy applauds Senate for approving key legislation WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the U.S. Senate’s approval of the 2013 Farm Bill by 66-27, Tom Buis CEO of

Growth Energy released the following statement: “I commend the Senate for approving the 2013 Farm Bill. This legisla-

tion contains important provisions that will incentivize the production of renewable fuels to decrease our dependence on foreign oil and create jobs right here at home.

“Specifically, the $900 million in mandatory funding to critical rural energy programs will help provide the certainty investors and businesses need to keep making renewable fuels from diverse feedstocks, from corn stover to woody biomass to mu-

nicipal solid waste.

“By including programs such as the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), theBiomass Crop Assistance Program, and the Biorefinery Assistance Program, the Senate has reiterated its vote of confidence in our nation’s re-

newable fuels sector.

America’s robust farm communities are the heart of our nation, our economy and our future — I applaud the Senate for recognizing their critical importance.

“There’s still work to be done, however. Now that the Senate has ap-

Meat Goat Seminars slated for June 22 The Northeast Premier Breeders will offer workshops, free to the public, at their Ninth Annual Boer Goat Production Sale, on Saturday, June 22.

Two workshops will be offered: Marketing Meat Goats for Top Dollar Prices and Parasite Management that Works. According to Deb Borden of Hill Place Farm, marketing and parasite management are major con-

cerns to most goat owners. “You can have the best goats around, but if you can’t market them for top dollar you won’t be in business very long.

Accordingly, some breeders are not aware of how much parasites affect the kidding process, the number of kids a goat will produce and the general health of their goats and knowing how to control parasites is key to the goat owners

success,” says Borden.

The Marketing seminar begins at 10, followed by Parasite Management at 11 a.m. The Sale, following lunch, begins at 1 p.m. Both the workshops and the production sale will be held at the New York State Fairgrounds, Goat Barn, in Syracuse, NY, on June 22. For more information contact the Bordens at 607-937-3324 or hillplacefarm@att.net.

Farm Credit East, the largest lender to Northeast agriculture, recently announced the expansion of their existing Young, Beginning, Small Farmer Program to include Gulf War-era II veterans. The customerowned financial cooperative provides over $4.69 billion in loans to its members, including 6,628 small farm loans, 4,298 beginning farm loans and 3,077 young farmer loans (under 36 years of age).

“At Farm Credit East we understand that the future of agriculture in

the Northeast is dependent on talented individuals entering the industry” said Bill Lipinski, CEO of Farm Credit East. “Therefore it was an easy decision to expand our existing young, beginning, small farmer program to include veterans. Whether veterans are returning to agriculture, or just getting started, they face the same challenges as new entrants.”

Gary Bradley, an executive vice president responsible for Farm Credit East’s Young, Beginning and Small

Farmer program commented, “We feel our training programs, oneon-one mentoring and consulting and incentives can help make the difference for veterans when developing their farming business.”

Under this program, a young farmer is defined as a farmer, rancher, producer or harvester of aquatic products who is 35 years of age or younger as of the loan transaction date. A beginning farmer has 10 years or less of farming experience and a small farmer normally gener-

ates gross annual sales of $250,000 or less. A veteran farmer is defined as Gulf War-era II veterans who have served anywhere in the world at any time since September 2001.

Farm Credit East has programs in place, such as Young, Beginning and Small Farmers Incentive Program (YBS) and FarmStart, LLP, to assist farmers in the early stages of their business when the demands for capital and financial management skills often make it difficult to establish their business.

Through the YBS Incentive program, established in 1994, program participants receive discounts on services such as farm accounting software, tax preparation, consulting and appraisal for up to five years.

These customers also receive discounts on FSA guaranteed loan fees and interest rate assistance.

Farm Credit East’s special incentives for 2012 were $226,038.

Farm Credit East is committed to helping new farmers get started in agriculture to continue the Northeast’s legacy

of a vibrant, entrepreneurial agricultural community. The future of Northeast agriculture is strong for many reasons, including the diversity of its farm operations along with its wide array of farm products. Northeast farms contribute to a strong agricultural sector that provides wholesome, fresh products to consumers and essential economic activity throughout the rural communities of New England, New York and New Jersey.

motion Program on behalf of commonwealth dairy farmers, who work together to promote milk and dairy products.

Dairy is the largest segment of Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry, generating more than $2.3 billion in economic activity annually. Each year, Pennsylvania’s 541,000 dairy cows produce 10.5 billion

pounds, or 5.4 percent, of the nation’s total supply of milk annually.

“Is there anything better than simple, wholesome milk? It’s a food that I feel good giving to my children, and I’m proud to provide it for your family, too,” said Kathy Walton, a Cumberland County dairy farmer who spoke on behalf of the state’s dairy

farmers. “The milk at your local grocery store is simply produced and delivered to you fresh, packed with nutrients vital to good health.”

Joining Walton with opening remarks, Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture George Greig read Gov. Corbett’s proclamation declaring June is

Following the opening remarks, volunteers created the giant sundae using 90 gallons of Turkey Hill vanilla ice cream. The mountain of ice cream was covered

with 10 gallons of chocolate fudge, 10 gallons of cherries and 30 pounds of chopped pecans. The sundae was topped off with real whipped cream and a giant, 12-inch ball of cherries.

In a letter to Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation, Greig and Wolff said the proposed Dairy Market Stabilization Program within the Dairy Security Act holds unintended consequences for Pennsylvania’s dairy industry and consumers.

“One-size-fits-all government management of commodity supply and

demand doesn’t work,” said Greig. “Restricting milk supplies across the board, especially in areas of the country like the Mid Atlantic where there is a milk deficit, increases costs for consumers and hurts the dairy industry.”

Greig, a former dairy farmer, and Wolff, a current dairy farmer, instead encouraged support of the Dairy Freedom Act. The bipartisan compromise, offered by Representatives Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and David Scott (D-GA), establishes a safety net for dairy producers without mandating they participate in a

government-run supply management program.

“The Dairy Freedom Act can help the dairy industry meet growth in domestic and international consumer demand,” said Greig. “It removes unnecessary regulatory burdens on dairy businesses and provides opportunities for market expansion, new jobs and economic growth.”

National dairy exports have shown substantial growth over the past decade, with 14 percent of the milk supply exported to other countries.

“Pennsylvania is respected and relied upon as a milk exporter,” said

Wolff. “The Dairy Stabilization Program may harm the state’s reputation as a dependable supplier to global markets and cause dairy farmers to cut back on production in an area where growth is needed.”

Dairy is the largest segment of Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry, with milk contributing $2.3 billion to the state’s economy. More than 7,200 dairy farm families manage 541,000 cows that produce 1.2 billion gallons, or 5.4 percent of the nation’s total supply of milk annually, ranking Pennsylvania fifth nationally in milk production.

Sundae from A13 produce 5.4 percent of the nation’s total milk supply,” said Patty Purcell, CEO of Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association. “Dairy farmers take great pride in caring for their animals. The public can be assured that dairy farmers are dedicated and committed to providing your family with a delicious and nutritious food. Your milk comes from a good place!”

Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program are the local planning and management organizations funded by dairy farmer checkoff dollars. They work closely with Dairy Management Inc.™ and are responsible for increasing demand for U.S.-produced dairy products on behalf of Pennsylvania’s dairy farmers.

Newsletter of Penn Dutch Cow Care

by Hubert J. Karreman Hi Folks, You know we’re in peak pasture season when the cows are outside day and night, only to come into the barn for milking. At this time, it’s really important to prevent lameness, so cows can graze with ease.

Everyone agrees that we don’t want to have cows experiencing lameness, especially during grazing season… but too many of them do. Besides the obviously lame cow that a person who’s nearly blind can diagnose, do we know what earlier signs to look for? And then do we know how to effectively correct the condition?

To begin with, about 90-95 percent of all lameness begins with a problem in a hoof. Conditions will show as irregular gait and shortened stride length, at least to some degree, according to the British dairy consulting company DairyCo. In

their lameness scoring system, a completely normal, healthy cow (“0”) walks with a flat back, even weight-bearing, and long easy strides. A slightly lame cow (“1”) will step unevenly or have a slightly shortened stride, but the affected limb may not be immediately identifiable. A “2” will have uneven weight-bearing on a limb that is easily identifiable and/or take shortened strides, and the back will have a slight curve to it. A “3” is reluctant or unable to walk the speed of a person, cannot keep up with the healthy herd, and has an obvious curve to the back. Any time a cow walks and her head bobs up, there is a lame limb to identify — just like in horses.

Common causes of lameness are due to environmental factors such as stones in laneways, and nutritional factors such as too much grain for the amount of fiber offered and/or lack of

appropriate minerals in the diet for hoof health.

Excess muck in the barnyard or slogging through mud will keep hooves damp, and this will allow any festering condition more chance to create damage. In a normal cow, the outer hoof of each rear limb and the inner hoof of each front limb bear the most weight. Therefore, lameness will occur and appears sooner in these particular areas of the limbs. Also, cows bear 60 percent of their weight upon the front part of their body, so they show lameness in the front limbs more quickly than on the back which bears less weight.

Cows have a great ability to hide lameness since they can rely on the other toe of their two toes if needed. By the time they actually show lameness to any degree (a “1”, “2” or “3”), they need to be tended to, or grazing time and production will

be affected. Color of hoof can also make a difference, with white hooves being softer and less resistant to lameness, and black hooves being more resistant to lameness.

The positive side to white hooves is that they are easier to work on with a hoof knife, compared to black hooves which are usually extremely hard and brittle.

The most common problems in organic, grazing herds that I’ve worked on over the years include hairy heel wart (inter-digital dermatitis), foot rot, abscesses and white line disease. Hairy heel wart only occurs at the hoofhairline junction on any limb, but most often seems to be on the backside of the rear limb. Foot rot only occurs in the hairless area between the two toes.

Abscesses can occur anywhere on the hoof surface in contact with the ground which gets

DHIA & Dairy Section pierced, while white line disease abscesses occur where the hoof sidewall meets the weight-bearing surface below.

I rarely have seen ulcers in organic herds since high fiber/low grain diets prevent the

condition.

Whether it’s foot rot, hairy heel wart, abscesses or white line disease, I treat them nearly the same way: find the area causing the problem by

visual inspection and/or opening it up with a wellsharpened hoof knife to make the area bleed a little to bring in fresh circulation, cleanse for 1/2 minute by rinsing the area with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, and then wrap using a thick mixture of sugar and povidone iodine (Betadine®). A good amount is 1/2 cup sugar with 20cc Betadine® — this will be enough for about 3 wraps. The wrap should be changed once three days later. In cases of foot rot it must be changed. I realize people don’t like to do extra manual labor, but I can safely say that the above

method works the vast majority of the time in my clinical experience with hoof problems — if the initial cause has been correctly identified and addressed. The labor saved with the various sprays that people squirt onto hooves during milking time for hairy heel wart are not generally effective and needlessly prolong lameness. Unless very early in the condition, the main reason they don’t work well is that a scab layer quickly forms and becomes a barrier for any kind of spray to get to where it is needed.

For grazing cows, the number one thing to do

for preventing lameness is to have excellent laneways, since the cows have to walk on them daily. Laneways should be rock-free. Rocks create lameness in two ways: submerged and hidden in mud, or set in place at the surface of very hard and dry ground.

Improved laneways are worth the cost, and cost-sharing by NRCS is usually available. Also, if cows are pushed faster than they normally walk, they will then more likely place their hooves onto sharp things without time to re-position their footing.

Foot rot, abscesses and white line disease occur

when something hard pierces into the weightbearing area of the hooves, or pierces into the area between the two toes. These punctured or torn areas then come into contact with manure, muck or other dirt — a given in the life of dairy cows. Hairy heel wart is a little different in that it is contagious and the bug seems to be present in areas of accumulated manure/muck.

But health of the hoofhairline junction is also a factor in hairy heel wart, as blood circulation to the hoof-hairline junction is very delicate since it’s at the very far end of the limbs. If tox-

DHIA & Dairy Section ins are circulating in the blood stream (a possibility with chronic low level rumen acidosis) and settle out at the hoof-hairline junction, or, if there is a lack of the right proportion of minerals for proper hoof health, bugs in the environment can lead to hairy heel wart.

This is my own theory, and while the official cause of hairy heel wart is still not completely known, I don’t think I’m too far off.

I realize that no one likes to do extra work, especially already overworked dairy farmers.

However, there is no better method of hoof care than to lift individual hooves and work on

them when first observed — before a “1” becomes a “3”. Try to take a handson hoof trimming course if possible, as half-hearted attempts or using a dull hoof knife can lead to much worse conditions since cows can keep walking on the good toe while the bad toe festers worse. A general rule of thumb is that the first attempt at treatment is the best chance to correct a hoof problem. If you prefer not to work on hooves or have not had success on your own, a timely call to a professional hoof trimmer or veterinarian will ensure that your cows graze happily and freely.

Submitted by Kelly Adams The 4-H program of Broome County is pleased to announce that three of our 4-H youth were asked to represent the county at the State 4-H Horse Public Presentation Event held at Cornell University on May 18. Kelsey Keathly, Natalie Barrows, and Jenna Keathly presented their speeches at a county level event back in January and were selected to advance to the regional competition, which hosts youth from eight surrounding counties. At that event the youth scored extremely well and were asked to represent the region at the State level event. Youth ages 14 and up can then qualify as a New York State presentation representative at

the Eastern National Round-Up event in November.

All three youth did an excellent job at the State event, against some very tough competition. Kelsey placed 9th in New York State in the Senior Division with her presentation entitled, “Balancing Act.” Jenna presented on “Practice Makes Perfect,” and Natalie’s presentation on “Tolt and Pace,” earned her 8th place in New York State in the Junior Division.

Kids learn great skills at 4-H Officer’s Training On Tuesday, May 21, Susquehanna County 4-Hers gathered at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church for 4-H Officer’s Training. They received instruction from Michelle Kowalewski and Abby Onyon on the different office positions that make up a 4-H Club.

Through 4-H, members are able to be elected to offices in their club. They can serve as a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, News Reporter, Historian, or Social Chair. At Officers Training, members learned about the structure of a business meeting, and how to properly run one.

They learned how to correctly make a motion, and the steps needed to move

a business meeting along efficiently and effectively. Also, they learned how to take roll call, read minutes and deliver a treasurer’s report, create a new report, and accurately document all the clubs activities for the Historians Book.

It was very encouraging to see the youth interested in learning leadership skills and how to conduct a meeting.

These are skills for life, and an excellent way to meet new people and have new experiences as a leader. For more information about Susquehanna County 4-H, please call 570-278-1158 or visit extension.psu.edu/susquehanna.

Oswego County 4-H youth excel in multi-county event 4-H youth from Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, and Oswego counties talked, danced and even cooked through their public presentations recently at the Tractor Supply Company Store in Rome, NY. The 4-H youth were chosen to represent their counties at the North Central 4-H District Public Presentation Event because they had given the most proficient presentation in each of their respective counties.

Aubrey Owens, Dante LaVergne, Emily Brunner, Caleb Lacson, Brianna Logee, Kimberly Logee, Jena DuPont and Rachael Thormann represented the Oswego County 4-H Youth Development Program. Each of these Oswego County 4-H’ers earned a blue ribbon for an excellent job. Aubrey Owens and Emily Brunner placed 3rd and 4th respectively in the Junior Division, and Kimberly Logee, Caleb Lacson and Christina Owens ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 5th in the Senior Division.

In the Public Presentation Program,

individual 4-H members take a topic of their choosing and prepare a talk of five to 15 minutes. In the audience are adult evaluators and younger apprentices who judge each presentation, then hold a conference with the presenter to discuss his or her strong points and weaknesses and offer suggestions for the future.

The Public Presentation is one of the keystones of a national 4-H program that stresses youth engagement as a way to gain skills and knowledge, bolster self-esteem and foster connectedness. 4-H offers young people exposure to science, health and academic fields, helps develop leadership skills, provides hands-on experience, and helps high-schoolers explore career opportunities.

If you would like more information on the largest youth development organization in the world, contact the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County 4-H Program, 315963-7286.

Stable flies attack dairy cattle

by Keith Waldron, NYS IPM Recent days marked another seasonal first: stable flies observed on a local dairy farm. Storm fronts likely contributed to stable flies arriving.

Stable flies aggravate dairy cattle both in the barn and on pasture.

Both female and male flies bite animals several times a day and are typically on their “prey” for only moments before flying off to rest and digest their blood meal (the females requiring blood to produce viable eggs).

Wonderful, right?

The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, is slightly smaller than a house fly (1/4 to 3/8 inch), the other common fly pest found in and around dairy barns, but is dark gray and has seven rounded dark spots on the upper surface of its abdomen. Another obvious difference between the two is stable flies have a piercing mouthpart that protrudes like a spear from under their head and is used to cause extremely painful bites.

Cattle irritated by stable flies will stomp their legs, since these flies normally attack the legs and bellies. Excessive tail flicking may also indicate presence of stable flies. Production declines in herds plagued by stable flies because the painful biting activity causes animal fatigue

from trying to dislodge flies. Annoyance from the blood feeding causes cows to bunch together in the pasture and in free stalls leading to heat stress and reduced feed intake causing potential economic losses. Stable flies emigrating off farm will bite humans, giving rise to their alternate name of the “biting house fly”.

Stable flies breed in wet straw, manure, spilled feeds, silage, torn silage bags, grass clippings, poorly managed compost piles, damp round bales, and vegetation washed up on lake shores; in other words, in any damp, decaying organic matter in and around the barn but note stable flies can also develop in other suitable habitats on and off the farm. Stable flies are vigorous fliers and may travel long distances to find a host.

Each female fly lives about 20 to 30 days and lays 200 to 400 eggs during her lifetime. Larvae, or maggots, hatch from the eggs and develop for about a week before they reach the pupal stage. Like house flies, stable fly pupae are reddish-brown in color.

Fly development is affected by temperature and moisture; under cooler conditions, flies develop more slowly, and when warmer, more quickly.

House flies can develop

much quicker going from egg to an adult fly in as few as 10 days at 86°F. Stable flies, by contrast, develop slightly slower than house flies, but under warm summer conditions, the life cycle from egg to adult is about 3 weeks. Once here, stable flies will be with us throughout the summer affecting animals in and around barns and out on pasture until about first frost.

Monitoring: Stable flies are monitored weekly by counting flies on all four legs of at least 15 animals in the herd. In general, treatment is warranted when counts reach an average of 10 flies per animal although the number can be adjusted based on personal preference and experience.

Management: Stable fly breeding in the barn is managed through sanitation of favorable breeding habitat: moist decaying organic matter, soiled bedding, spilled feed. Other areas on the farm such as round bale feeding stations, bunk silos, compost heaps, grass clipping, etc. should also be monitored and cleaned. Augmentative releases of wasp parasitoids may be helpful in barns with potential stable fly and house fly breeding locations.

Commercially available fly baits are meant to be used in bait

stations and consumed by flies. These baits are meant for house flies and are not suitable for stable flies, which are a different species with a different biology. Adult stable flies are blood feeders that may also feed on natural sugar sources such as nectar.

Biting fly traps, such as those made of alsynite

DHIA & Dairy Section are attractive to stable flies and will help reduce breeding populations. A number of repellents and insecticides are labeled for use to manage stable flies. Always read and follow label instructions.

Winners are presented with a Quality Milk barn sign and a year sticker for the first year that they win the award. Those who have won in previous years are given a year sticker to add to the barn sign, indicating another year of excellence. Award packets are currently being distributed through Dairy One Farm Service Technicians and Market staff.

Herds with low somatic cell counts (SCC) tend to be more profitable than herds with high SCC. Increased profit comes from reduced mastitis treatment and veterinary costs, higher milk production per cow and milk quality premiums. Additionally, milk with lower somatic cell counts has a longer shelf life and results in a higher yield of cultured dairy products. Herds producing high quality milk with low SCC set a standard of excellence for the entire industry. Careful milking procedures, good milking equipment maintenance, and excellent herd management using individual cow SCC all contribute to a herd’s low SCC. Out of the approximately 4,500 members that process through DRMS Raleigh and get Record Services through Dairy One, 793 were honored with the Outstanding Quality Milk Award. Listed below are those who are on the published option. Dairy One congratulates all winners and wishes them continued success through 2013-2014.

Dairy Princess.

Hi, my name is Alison Parrott from Hartford, NY, and I am the 20132014 Washington County Dairy Princess. I am the daughter of Jeffrey Parrott and Linda ParrottFuller. I am a junior at Hartford Central School where I am the president of our FFA chapter. I also play volleyball, basketball, and softball and am a member of the National Honor Society.

I currently own a Brown Swiss, Star, who I won in 2011 from the Thomas Violette Memorial Scholarship Program.

During the summer months, I show Holsteins from Kyle and Shanna Reid in Argyle, NY. I am very excited for the upcoming year because I know it will be a great one. My main goal as the Washington County Dairy Princess is to educate and inform the public about the importance of the dairy industry.

I want people to feel the passion for dairy like I do and know how vital it is to our county. I look forward to meeting many new people and having fun.

Home,, Family,, Friendss & You Full-fat cheese the secret to a healthy quesadilla

by Sara Moulton, Associated Press At heart, a quesadilla is pretty much a Mexican grilled cheese. Take a tortilla, stuff it with something savory, add some cheese, fold it in half and toast it.

It’s also pretty delicious.

I love any dish that includes melted cheese, and it’s that much better when Mexican ingredients are added to the mix. But as much as I enjoy the standard recipe for this widely loved treat, I was pretty sure I could dream up a lighter version.

I quickly discovered that it doesn’t take a ton of cheese to flavor — and glue together — the fillings of a quesadilla. as long as you use full-fat cheese. I tried using 4 ounces of reduced-fat cheese, but I found the flavor to be so weak that my tasters didn’t know there was any cheese in the recipe. A second attempt using 2 ounces of full-fat sharp cheddar was an immediate hit.

The rest of the filling is vegetables. I started by quickly cooking bell peppers and onions over medium-high heat until that magic moment when they were golden at the edges but still retained their crunch. I added mushrooms for two reasons — depth of flavor and bulk. Carnivores like to think of mushrooms as steak for vegetarians. Any kind of mushroom would be welcome here, but I favor a mix of cremini and shiitake.

Finally, as a big fan of chilies, I had to toss in a jalapeno. But it’s your choice whether to add the seeds and ribs, which make the dish much hotter.

Of course, given that dairy and chilies tend to counter-balance each other, the cheese in this recipe will tamp down some of the heat.

A cast-iron skillet is the perfect pan in which to cook this recipe or, if you happen to own one, a Mexican comal, the pan usually used for making tortillas. If you use your iron skillet often and care for it with love, it becomes almost stick-resistant, which means you won’t need much oil to cook the quesadillas. You also can grill the assembled quesadillas over low heat for a few minutes on each side to impart a lovely smokiness.

These quesadillas also would work well on a camping trip. Just chop all the vegetables and grate the cheese ahead of time and, since there is no oven for keeping them warm, you can cook them and cut them up to share as they are done. Finally, wherever and however you cook these beauties, don’t forget the avocado, yogurt and cilantro garnish, an important part of the finished product.

And if you throw together a quick coleslaw to serve on the side — dressing it with lime juice and a tiny bit of vegetable oil — you can easily stretch this into a full meal.

Mushroom, pepper and onion quesadillas Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 1 firm ripe avocado, diced 1 tablespoon lime juice Kosher salt and ground black pepper 4 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion 1/2 cup chopped red or green bell pepper (or a mix)

1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 1/2 cups assorted sliced mushrooms 1/2 fresh jalapeno, finely chopped (seeds and ribs discarded, if desired) 2 ounces coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese Four 8-inch flour tortillas, preferably whole wheat Nonfat plain Greek yogurt 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro Heat the oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, toss the diced avocado with the lime juice and a bit of salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a large, preferably cast-iron skillet over medium-high, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil. Add the onion, bell pepper and a pinch of salt, then saute until golden at the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.

Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the skillet along with the mushrooms and a pinch of salt.

Reduce the heat to medium and saute until the liquid the mushrooms give off has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with the onions and peppers. Add to it the jalapeno, cheese and a bit of salt and pepper. Mix well.

Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Coat it with cooking spray.

Set 2 of the tortillas flat on the counter. Divide the onion-pepper mixture between them, spreading it evenly over each. Press a second tortilla firmly over each.

Heat the skillet over medium. Add one quesadilla and toast until golden, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with the second quesadilla, placing it on the baking sheet when toasted. Bake for 5 minutes, or until just heated through. Cut each quesadilla into quarters, then divide between 4 serving plates. Top each serving with avocado, yogurt and cilantro.

dling problems and delays were more problematic in the Northeast with some plants having to dump milk. Midwest milk handling and processing went rather well, thanks to increased processing capacity.

California milk production is mostly steady with recent weeks. Hotter weather conditions caused a dip in output for a couple of days, but levels did recover. Arizona output was steady, New Mexico production uneven. Hotter weather is impacting milk receipts with lower milkfat and solids content noted.

Soybean planting, at 57 percent, lags the five-year average of 74 percent. "Market consensus appears to be that corn plantings may be 2 to 2.5 million acres less than expected," according to the Opening Bell, "down from last week's expectations of 5 to 6 million acres."

first three months of 2013 totaled 48.2 billion pounds, down 0.6 percent from the same period in 2012. Butter was up 5.4 percent; American cheese, up 0.3 percent; other cheese, up 0.1 percent; nonfat dry milk was down 15 percent, and fluid milk products were off 0.9 percent.

The Agriculture Department's latest Ag Prices report shows the May index at 152, up 2.0 percent from a month ago and 23 percent above May last year. The May all milk price of $19.80 per cwt. is 30 cents above last month and $3.60 higher than May 2012.

The April Milk Income Loss Contract payment (MILC) will be 69.884 cents per cwt. The University of Wisconsin's Dr. Brian Gould estimates that, based on June 4 futures prices, the May MILC payment will be about 70 cents.

The May 31 Daily Dairy Report said that, although Midwest farms are challenged with heavy rains, the fallout from last year's drought is far-reaching and continues to affect farm margins even today as evidenced by the Ag Prices report.

Western dairy state milk price over feed continues to improve while Midwestern and Eastern states' gains were modest, according to the DDR. Nationally the milk price over feed for May 2013 at $7.03 per cwt. was higher than last month, up 21 cents versus April.

The DDR said that performance was mixed for the four largest dairy producing states. Idaho milk prices have been bolstered by stronger cheese and milk powder prices. Changes in milk powder markets will disproportionately influence Western states' milk prices due to high Class 4a or Class IV utilization.

This coupled with mostly steady feed costs led to an improved milk price over feed for Idaho of $7.77 per cwt., $1.03 higher than last month.

The All Milk price for Wisconsin increased in May to $20.50 per cwt., 60 cents higher than last month. However, the drought-related rise in alfalfa costs of $25 per ton since April nearly eclipsed the improvement in the milk price, leading to a May 2013 milk price over feed of $6.67 per cwt. in Wisconsin, up only 14 cents.

In May, the top four milk producing states are enjoying an improvement in milk price over feed performance, a stark contrast to one year ago. Last year, the national All Milk price was $14.51 in May, $5.29 per cwt. lower than this year with comparable feed costs. This resulted in a national May 2012 milk price over feed of only $2.22, $4.81 lower than the numbers reported this month, the DDR said.

A View from Hickory Heights

by Ann Swanson June is Dairy Month All the years that my husband ran the farm we did not think very much about dairy month. It was not until I became involved with the press that the subject surfaced. I wanted to let people know about the hard working farmers who put in long hours so that everyone could enjoy dairy products.

Our daughter was the Warren County Dairy Princess for a year. I made batch after batch of milk punch for all

sorts of events. My daughter did not drive at the time so I was her transportation wherever she went. We attended dairy meetings as well as visited stores to give out samples of dairy products. She also did school programs that she and I put together to be sure the information was age appropriate. It was an excellent experience for her so I was more than happy to do my part.

Through the years the dairy industry has seen a great deal of change.

The dairy farmers of today do things much differently than we did. My husband did things the old way. He maintained a small dairy farm that could be run by the family. The children began doing chores while they were still in grade school. They knew they had to have their homework done because they would be spending several hours at the farm doing the evening chores.

We milked about 30 cows, but had additional livestock that made up the herd. There were

86

heifers that had not calved as well as small heifers that were growing. I have mentioned before how my allergies affected what I was able to do in the barn. Often I carried milk and fed the young stock.

Carrying milk was quite a process. I had to pick up the two buckets then set them down at the sliding front door. After I went out of the barn I set them down again to close the door. You could not let the cold air blow through the barn without risking illness for the cows. Once again I

picked up the pails to go to the milk house that was located next to the barn. It was not attached at that time. For those of you familiar with the farm it has now become the farm store for Meldick Farms.

I set down my pails to open the door to the milk house, then, picked them back up to go inside. Once I was inside I hoisted the pails to pour through the strainer that was atop the milk tank.

If you have never picked up a pail of milk you cannot appreciate how heavy they were. I leaned

the pail against the strainer so that I did not spill one precious drop.

The price of milk was low enough that we could not afford to waste anything.

While the family was milking cows we had plenty of milk. As long as we lived in the trailer near the farm I could walk across the road whenever I needed milk.

Once we moved to Hickory Heights I had to depend on my husband to take the milk container to the farm to be filled and bring it home.

Mielke from B15 In politics; the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) praised the Senate's vote Thursday to end debate on the 2013 Farm Bill. The decision to invoke cloture "clears the way for approval of a much-needed reform of the federal dairy program," an NMPF press release stated. The Senate was expected to vote on final passage of the Farm Bill the week of June 10. NMPF stated that "Milk producers need the 2013 Farm Bill enacted as soon as possible" and to "know the details of the federal dairy safety net, " to "make business decisions."

Meanwhile; DairyBusinessUpdate (DBU) reported that U.S. Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) released a statement this week after a House Judiciary Committee markup of H.R. 1947, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management (FARRM) Act of 2013. Goodlatte, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced an amendment that would ensure regulations imposed under the FARRM Act are subject to promulgation under the Administrative Procedure Act and the Congressional Review Act, which fall under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee.

Goodlatte wants review of rules establishing the Dairy Market Stabilization Program, which is part of the Dairy Security Act, the dairy title of the proposed farm bill.

The version of the bill reported by the House Agriculture Committee last month waived this requirement. Goodlatte's amendment passed the House Judiciary Committee by voice vote with bipartisan support.

National Milk called the measure "a reasonable compromise to get the reform approved," but added that the Goodlatte amendment was "another attempt to sidetrack a dairy policy proposal already approved by the House Ag Committee."

DBU reported that the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) has a slightly different take on the measure.

IDFA said the Judiciary Committee action will "require USDA to examine the impacts of proposed dairy policy in several areas, including consumer prices, the cost of USDA nutrition programs, competitiveness within the dairy industry and the potential for dairy market growth, prior to adopting interim and final regulations."

And, a new campaign is being launched in conjunction with June Dairy Month and dairy's REAL Seal that enables consumers to learn more about the benefits of real, American-made dairy products and foods made with them, using a new Facebook page, blogger outreach, and digital advertising. Details are posted at www.facebook.com/REALSealDairy.

Since we always had milk I made many dishes where milk was the star.

We enjoyed scalloped potatoes made from scratch, rice pudding, tapioca pudding, cooked rice with milk, and of course, plenty of fresh milk for drinking. Our children grew up on raw milk. The milk was always tested though, so we knew that it was of

good quality.

When we attended dinners where I had to make something to take, I often made one of my favorite dishes featuring milk. After all, the dairy farm family had to highlight their product.

Once we moved up on the hill my days of carrying milk were over. By then there was a new milk house attached to

the barn. The carrying job was much simpler.

There were not as many doors to open and close.

The door to the milk house swung both ways so you did not have to set down the milk at all.

Years ago this road was dotted with small farms whose milk was put into cans and delivered to the creamery. My father-in-law had a milk

route for a while. He used to tell me about having a butter route in Jamestown. His mother made farm fresh butter and he would take it, along with eggs to sell to city customers. If they had anything extra from the garden they sold that as well.

On a farm everyone had a job. There was no idle time. There were hardly enough daylight hours to get everything that needed to be done finished. Children did not have to go off the farm to find summer employment. They learned good

working skills at home.

Often we hired neighbors to help with the haying. Hay was put up in small bales. The hay was cut, allowed to dry, then, raked into windrows. When it was dry the baler ran over the windrows and gathered it into a compact bale. The bales were loaded on a wagon and taken to the barn. They were then mowed away in the barn to be used to feed the cows during the winter months.

As I write about all of this there is a certain amount of nostalgia that

surfaces. No, I did not like all of the details that contributed to our years on the farm, but I did appreciate it as a wonderful way of life. Our children learned responsibility. They learned time management. There were no business lunches and no time to do all of things that the corporate world thinks of as necessities today. Dairy farming was a lot of work, but the quality of life was worth it all.

Processors distort consumer milk price increase claims From Jerry Kozak, President and CEO, NMPF: The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) claims that “the current Farm Bill includes a new intrusive program that would significantly increase the cost of milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy

products.” The truth is that this program would not increase the cost of any dairy product.

Ask the Lawyer

by Jay Girvin, Esq., Girvin & Ferlazzo, P.C., Albany, New York Q. My liability insurance carrier has disclaimed coverage of a lawsuit that was recently filed against me.

What are my options?

A. Very few things are as frustrating as receiving a “denial of coverage” letter from your liability insurance carrier. As a prudent business owner, you have secured and maintained liability insurance coverage to protect you in the event you ever find yourself the target of a lawsuit. You have dutifully paid the premiums on the liability policy year after year without ever having to invoke the protections of the policy. Now that you are actually faced with a lawsuit, however, your insurance carrier informs you that the claim is not covered by the policy and that the company will not pay either the costs of defending the lawsuit or the amount of any damages that might be awarded against you.

An insurance company’s denial of coverage may be based on one or more alternative grounds. The insurance company may claim that the insured failed to satisfy a condition precedent to coverage — for example, failing to provide timely notice of the claim to the company.

The insurance company may take the position that the lawsuit does not involve a claim “covered” as defined under the liability policy. The insurance policy may, for example, define a covered claim as one that seeks damages for bodily injury arising from or related to an “occurrence,” and in turn provide specific definitions for those terms. Alternatively, the insurance company may assert that although the claim is one that would ordinarily fall within the definition of a covered claim, coverage of the claim is specifically excluded by one or more exclusions set forth in the policy.

Ultimately, an insur-

ance policy is simply a contract entered into between an insurance company and an insured, and whether a company has properly denied coverage is a question of interpreting and applying the language of that contract. In this regard, New York law recognizes a number of principles that are favorable to insureds. Many of the terms and definitions included in insurance policies are ambiguous and subject to differing interpretations — in such cases, any ambiguous provisions are to be construed in favor of the insured and in favor of coverage. The law gov-

erning the interpretation of exclusionary clauses in insurance policies is similarly favorable to insureds. An exclusion must be specific and clear, and will be narrowly construed and enforced only when the insurer establishes that the pertinent language is subject to no other reasonable interpretation. If the language is ambiguous, the ambiguity will be construed in favor of the insured, and the test to determine whether an insurance contract is

ambiguous focuses on the reasonable expectations of the average insured upon reading the policy and employing common speech.

An insurance company may be obligated to provide and pay for a defense to a claim, even if the claim is one that may ultimately be found to not be covered under the policy. An insurer’s duty to defend is broader than its duty to indemnify, and arises whenever the allegations in the complaint in the underlying

action, construed liberally, suggest a reasonable possibility of coverage. As such, the duty to defend arises if the claims against the insured arguably arise from a covered event, even if the claims may be meritless or not covered, either because the insured is not liable or because the event is later determined to fall outside the policy’s scope of coverage. An insurer can be relieved of its duty to defend only if there is no possible factual or legal

basis on which it might be obligated to indemnify its insured under any policy position. If any of the claims against the insured arguably arise from covered events, the insurer is required to defend the entire action.

Determining whether an insurance company has properly disclaimed coverage therefore depends on comparing the claim or claims raised in a lawsuit with the specific coverage and exclu-

Morrisville State College Capstone Senior project helps dairy farm make a new business plan The Morrisville State College Capstone Senior project involves helping alumni. Morrisville State College students in the AgriBusiness program recently helped the Aukema family develop a business plan that transitions from a traditional family farm selling milk as a commodity, to a value-added business selling creamline milk and cheese curds under the name Dutch Hill Creamery.

Fun Fact: three of the Aukema brothers are Morrisville State College alumni. The business plan(s) included: recommendations for the operations and management of the current dairy farm business, family succession planning, a marketing plan, and financial analysis.

The semester long consulting project was a growth experience for all.

The project was very emotional. The students were able to ‘see’ firsthand the challenges and opportunities that a fam-

Lawyer from B20 sions set forth in the insurance policy. In some instances, it may be clear that the claim is one that falls outside the policy’s definition of a covered claim, or falls squarely within a listed exclusion from coverage.

In other cases, however, the insurance company’s denial of coverage may be significantly more debatable, particularly when it depends on the application of ambiguous words or phrases in the policy. If there is any question as to the validity of the company’s disclaimer, the insured should have the denial of coverage reviewed by an attorney. If the insurance company has improperly denied coverage, and the attorney is unable to persuade the company to voluntarily reconsider its coverage position, the appropriate remedy would be for the insured to file a lawsuit of its own for a declaration of the parties’ rights and obligations under the insurance policy.

Award honors long time Saratoga County Fair Director

by Richard Smith, Saratoga County Extension Agent When school lets out in

the summer not every child thinks of swimming, parties and part

time jobs. Many of the country youth especially those living on farms

start thinking of county fairs and showing their cattle. You could safely say that was often the thoughts of Fred Sanders from Galway. He grew up on the family farm on County Route 147. Between daily milking and cropping chores he would work out his plans on which heifer or cow to bring to the county fair.

Fred trained his various selections to walk at a proper speed and positioned them so they would exhibit their best qualities to the judge.

Fred Sanders had a

drive that made his knack for animal genetics translate into show ring winnings. It was always a challenge to show in Saratoga County, for there were a vast number of high quality animals to compete against and in those days many more farm youth eager to do the same. It was a friendly field of competition. All 4-Hers admired one another’s animals and worked together to prepare their entries for the show ring. Once in the show ring all bets were off, each 4-Her applied

all their skills and talents intensely on their job at hand, leading their animals around presenting her to judge at her best.

Over Fred’s long career as first a 4-Her and later as one of the shrinking numbers of proud county dairymen exhibiting and showing cattle, he had his share of blue ribbon winners. As a young man he would travel to the New York State Fair and compete there too with his Sanvale Cattle.

Even as late as the 2010

Pasture improvement is something that is on the mind of many farmers that depend on grass for their livelihood. Some are inundated with weeds, others have questions about soil health, and still others may be trying to make their pastures as productive as possible due to limited acreage. Last year dry conditions encouraged some farms to think more about planning ahead and improvement.

For example, many farms decide to start this improvement process with a soil test. It doesn’t help your pastures when you apply fertilizers to a soil that is overly acidic. A soil test is best done every three years or when you plan on changing crops.

As you evaluate your pastures make note of the plants you have growing there. Is there a good diversity of desirable species, with at

least one legume? Ideally your pastures would be vigorous, have good ground cover, and be grazed uniformly by your livestock. One of the best ways to learn about these topics and others is to visit farms that are currently grazing successfully. From these farmers you can learn about what works and what doesn’t on their operations. Talking with other producers is a great way to brainstorm

and pick up new tricks and techniques. To help facilitate this, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Rensselaer County is having a pasture walk on July 18 at Long Lesson Farm (444 Goosen-Regan Road, Buskirk, NY, www.longlessonangus.co m). At this event you will be able to enjoy a presentation from ColumbiaGreene Cornell Cooperative Extension Livestock Educator Mick Bessire, have question and an-

swer time with the farm owners while we walk the pastures, and light refreshments.

We plan on discussing pasture renovations, soil health, and weed control, but the discussion will move in the direction that participants have interest in. Make sure to bring your pasture and grazing questions! Cost of the meeting is $5. For more information and to RSVP please contact

Marcie Vohnoutka at 518-272-4210 or mmp74@cornell.edu.

Cornell Cooperative Extension provides many educational opportunities and resources for established as well as new farmers and landowners as well as consumers and youth. For more information on any of these classes or other upcoming events with CCE, please call 518272-4210.

devoted service as a fair director remembered.

They established in 2012 the Fred Sander’s Award to honor him.

The Award has two winners annually. There is a 4-H winner and an Open Show winner. Several Saratoga County 4-

H Dairy Club events during the calendar year earn points for participants towards the award. The award doesn’t stop there because it was the wish of the endowers to have the award also recognize a 4Her who exhibits a desire

to promote dairy farming and the benefits of milk in our diets as well as showing good sportsmanship.

In 2012 the 4-H award came down to the last class, at the Saratoga County 4-H Show that determined the ultimate winner. When the points

were added up in the show ring while the entire group of Saratoga County 4-Hers were holding their show cow or heifer, Matthew Peck edged out several other 4-Hers by a point to win the 2012 Fred Sanders Award. Matthew Peck is the son of Kevin and

Carrie Peck of Clear Echo Farm in Schuylerville.

The award consists of a cash check of $250, an individual plaque and a name plate to be added to a permanent plaque proudly displayed in the Saratoga County Fair Office.

Award from C2 Saratoga County Fair one of Fred’s Sanvale cows was chosen as Reserve Grand Champion of the Holstein show.

It is Fred Sanders family who desires to see Fred’s love of cattle and the Saratoga County Fair as well as his 30 years of

higher than the same week a year ago. In Q1, steer dressed weights averaged 1.7 percent above the previous year and in Q4 of 2012 steer weights were growing at 2.6 percent rate. Cow slaughter remains a wild card. So

far, drought in key production areas and poor pasture conditions have pushed more cows to market. Should weather conditions improve, it could limit the number of beef cows flowing to market and help further

Center for Beef Excellence News for June 12, 2013 After hitting all time record highs in late May, the beef cutout has been trending lower and, judging from market’s reaction, the expectation is for beef prices to continue to drift to lower levels in June and July as the flurry of Memorial Day features subsides. USDA quoted the choice beef cutout on Thursday afternoon at $203.63/cwt, $6.23/cwt (+3.2 percent) higher than a year ago but down about 3.7 percent from the peak on May 23. The surge in prices in late May was mostly related to specific retail promotions for high quality choice beef cuts.

Select beef has not fared as well as choice. The select cutout on Thursday was pegged at $184.84/cwt, just 0.3 percent higher than a year ago. Looking at the contribution of the various primals to the value of the cutout, it is obvious that beef prices continue to be driven by a) middle meats (steaks) and b) Asia export items.

Round cuts, on the other end, continue to be particularly weak.

The round primal value on Thursday was quoted $154.60/cwt, down 4.2 percent from a year ago.

Ribs and loins, on the other hand, are +7.2 percent and +5.8 percent higher than the same period a year ago. Will middle meats continue to carry the cutout? This has been the worry in the market since late April and it remains today.

Live cattle futures are at about the same level today as they were in early May. Futures are pricing live steers for late June at around $120/cwt, which would imply a cutout value below $195/cwt. Could we see wholesale beef prices pull back another 4-5 percent in the next few weeks? It is possible, especially if middle meats pull back as they seasonally do at this time.

The rib primal is down about 3 percent in the last three days alone and loins also have been weaker recently. The value of items such as short plates and some chuck items that go to export remains well above year ago levels but these represent relatively small parts of the carcass and the effect remain marginal at best. Packers continue to fret about the weakness for round cuts. While demand for rounds at this time of

year is generally weak, prices have performed even worse than one would expect, indicating demand at foodservice and in the retail deli counter for roast beef and similar items is soft.

Lower ham and turkey breast prices remain particularly problematic for round cuts, highlighting the price discrepancy between beef and other meat proteins in the deli case.

Cattle supplies are higher in June compared to earlier in the year and the increase in the supply of fed beef also seasonally weighs on beef prices at this time of year.

The daily steer/heifer slaughter is currently hovering at about 98-99k head per day, compared to about 90-92k head per day in March and April. Daily steer and heifer slaughter still is expected to run about 3-4 percent below year ago levels in June and July. Steer and heifer weights remain above year ago levels but the rate of growth in cattle carcass weights has been slowing down.

USDA pegged steer dressed weights for the week ending May 25 at 846 pounds, 0.8 percent

reduce the supply of grinding beef available.

Outdoor Expo being held at the York Expo Center, York, PA on Aug. 16-18 is the ideal way to start.

Hosted and promoted by Richard Huff, III, avid outdoorsman and coowner of Keystone Valley Ranch, a private deer and elk hunting facility in central Pennsylvania, the three day event begins Friday Aug. 16 at noon and runs through 8 p.m. the first day. Saturday’s activities run from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. while Sunday, the Expo is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“At the Keystone Outdoor Expo, we are looking to provide the outdoorsman with a complete, high quality, expe-

schedules,” said Huff during a recent interview. “We are creating a show that will appeal to attendees and vendors alike. We want to offer show goers the best of the outfitters when it comes to the products and services that attendees are seeking.”

Huff said with more than 200 exhibitors already signed up for the show, he is looking forward to an event that has something for everyone. “We will have Kate Fiduccia, the co-host of the Woods N’ Water TV Series on hand to share some of her recipes that she features on the wild game cooking segment of

hand as well. Peter is a highly recognized authority on white-tailed deer hunting and is recognized for his ‘Woods N’ Water’ TV Series.”

“When we decided to put this show together, we wanted to offer a variety of exhibitors that focus on outfitting the hunters, fishermen and outdoorsmen without bringing in a number of unrelated vendors that distract from the main theme of the show,” said Huff. “If the vendor’s products are items that outdoor people use or need while they are out in the wild, that is the

This two-day event will be held July 23-24 in Portland, Maine The registration deadline for the National Mastitis Council (NMC) Regional Meeting, July 23-24, is fast approaching. This two day event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Portland, Maine. The pre-registration deadline is Tuesday, July 16.

This year’s program provides information and skills necessary to strengthen milk quality programs and increase

dairy profitability around the globe. The conference also provides an excellent opportunity to network with individuals who share the common interest of quality milk production.

The two-day conference starts off with specialized short courses on Tuesday, July 23. The short courses provide a smaller group setting for the participants, offering the opportunity to inter-

act directly with the instructor and other registrants in the course. Individuals are encouraged to bring questions, experiences and potential problems they may have encountered.

“The courses are designed to be two-way, interactive learning sessions,” said Anne Lichtenwalner, the 2013 NMC regional program chair and extension veterinarian with the University of

Maine. “The short courses have limited enrollment, so be sure to register early to ensure a spot in the course.”

Short course topics to choose from include: • Robotic milking: Planning for new facilities and evaluating current installations • NMC systems evaluation: Dynamic vs. static testing — let’s milk cows!

• The role of the microbiology laboratory in

mastitis control • Advanced milking concepts and diagnostics The main program will be held on Wednesday, July 24, and includes eight speakers covering topics ranging from a look at Staphylococcus aureus and coagulasenegative staphylococci to a discussion about common issues that impact milkability and cow behavior in the parlor and treatment decisions for milking and dry cows.

The program on Wednesday will run from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no registration limit for the general session.

Other events available to registered meeting attendees include a tour of the IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., headquarters and manufacturing facilities on Tuesday at

noon, and a reception Tuesday evening.

“Topics presented at this year’s regional meeting will benefit attendees of all levels who are interested in udder health, mastitis control, milking management, milk quality and milk safety,” said Lichtenwalner.

To learn more about the NMC regional meeting and to register, visit: http://nmconline.org/regionalmeet/2013/, contact the NMC office by email at nmc@ nmconline.org or phone 608-848-4615. Registration will also be accepted on-site at the meeting, however please note that the short course may fill up before the deadline.

Registration for the short courses is based on a firstcome, first-serve basis.

Fifteen livestock groups urge Senate to pass the ban on formula contracts BILLINGS, MT — Fifteen national and state livestock groups including R-CALF USA, sent a joint letter on May 30 to U.S. Senators urging them to aggressively support the bipartisan Farm Bill amendment sponsored by Senators Mike Enzi (R-WY), Tim Johnson (D-SD), and Jon Tester (D-MT). The amendment, Senate Amendment 982, would prohibit the largest meatpackers from using anticompetitive formula contracts to procure livestock from independent cattle and sheep feeders.

According to the group’s letter, the amendment would end the meatpackers’ practice of enticing cattle and sheep feeders to commit livestock under a formula contract that, while granting livestock sellers timely access to the marketplace, does not even include a negotiated base price. For this reason, the groups refer to anticompetitive formula contracts as unpriced contracts.

The numbers of cattle that have exited the price-discovery cash

market in favor of formula contracts has skyrocketed during the past several years. According to national data collected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the volume of cattle sold in the price-discovery cash market shrank from 52 percent in 2005 to only 26 percent in 2012, while the volume of cattle procured under formula contracts increased from 33 percent to 55 percent during the same period.

The group’s letter explains that formula contracts are anticompetitive because their ultimate settlement is based on prices discovered in the cash market, which is a market the meatpackers can readily manipulate simply by avoiding it and relying on their formula livestock.

“The meatpackers have created a vicious conundrum,” said Bill Bullard, CEO of R-CALF USA .

Bullard explained: “First, the meatpackers restrict timely access to the marketplace for independent producers, forcing them to enter formula contracts; second, the

meatpackers rely on their formula livestock to avoid the cash market, causing the cash market to fall; finally, the meatpackers slaughter their formula livestock and pay the livestock producers a price based on the depressed cash market that the meatpackers had just manipulated.”

“Dominant meatpackers are able to artificially lower the price they pay for all cattle and sheep,” the groups highlighted in their letter.

In support of their call for the ban on anticompetitive formula contracts, the groups wrote

that the U.S. sheep flock has declined by more than half in just three decades and lamb prices fell over $100 per head between early 2011 and mid-2012, a period when consumers continued paying high prices for lamb.

“Also, while consumers continue paying record prices for beef, independent cattle producers have suffered horrendous, long term losses. During the 26month period from March 2011 to April 2013, when beef prices were reaching historic highs, independent cattle producers lost an

average of about $116 per head for every animal sold to the dominant meatpackers,” the letter states.

The letter concludes, “Both the cattle industry and the sheep industry are shrinking fast and neither industry will recover on its own unless Congress takes immediate action to end the manipulative practices caused by the dominant meatpackers’ use of anticompetitive formula contracts.”

Groups that joined the request for the ban on formula contracts include: Buckeye Quality Beef Association (Ohio), Cattle

Producers of Louisiana, Cattle Producers of Washington, Colorado Independent CattleGrowers Association, Independent Beef Association of North Dakota (I-BAND), Independent Cattlemen of Nebraska, Independent Cattlemen of Wyoming, Kansas Cattlemen’s Association, Missouri’s Best Beef Co-Operative, Murray County, Oklahoma Independent Cattlemen’s Association, Nevada Live Stock Association, Northern Wisconsin Beef Producers, Organization for Competitive Markets (OCM), R-CALF USA, and South Dakota Stockgrowers Association.

Regional climate hubs, new research tools, uniform policy guidelines will help producers mitigate threats, adapt for the future Recently, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the Federal government must increase collaboration with producers, researchers and industry to develop the next generation of solutions that will help agriculture mitigate and adapt to modern climate challenges.

“Our farmers, ranchers and forest landowners are the most innovative on earth, and they’re up to the task of meeting

environmental challenges that lay ahead,” Vilsack said. “We know what we’re seeing on the ground — more intense weather events, and a greater number of them.

USDA will be there to support the efforts of our farmers and ranchers to adapt to these new challenges, just as we have been for decades.”

Vilsack noted that under the Obama Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture

(USDA) has taken a wide variety of proactive steps to prepare for climate challenges projected in the years ahead.

This includes the development of Climate Adaptation Plans by USDA agencies to continue delivering quality service in the years and decades to come. Additionally, earlier this year, USDA released two Climate Assessments — one focused on the climate impacts to agriculture in the coming years, and a second focused on U.S. forests.

Vilsack stressed the need to work closely with farmers and ranchers who stand “on the front line” of risk adaptation — and he pledged that USDA will take steps to help producers adapt to new threats. He announced a number of new measures that USDA will take to help producers create new climate solutions: Regional Climate Hubs: USDA will establish seven “Regional Climate Hubs” to work in partnership with producers and foresters.

The Secretary called them “Service centers for science-based risk management.” Working with other agencies, the hubs will serve as a source of regional data and information for hazard and adaptation planning in the agriculture and for-

est sectors. The hubs will provide outreach and extension to farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners on sciencebased risk management and will seek to partner with the land grant universities, Extension, and the private sector.

The seven regional hubs will be established for the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, Northern Plains, Southern Plains, Pacific Northwest, and Southwest.

Each hub will be the center of a network of connected activities and services and will be located in a USDA facility within its region.

Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Tools Customized for Producers: NRCS will leverage technology and provide technical assistance to agriculture — both by providing new technical tools for researchers, and new tools for farmers and ranchers themselves.

• Vilsack announced the release of the “Carbon Management and Evaluation Tool,” also known as COMET FARM, a free online tool that will help producers calculate how much carbon their conservation actions can remove from the atmosphere. Created

Climate Change Program Office, COMET -FARM will also help producers calculate and understand how land management decisions impact energy use and carbon emissions.

COMET FARM allows producers to input information about their land using a secure online interface — including location, soil characteristics, tillage and nutrient use.

The tool then estimates carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emission reductions associated with conservation practices for cropland, pasture, rangeland, livestock operations and energy.

COMET-FARM is applicable to all agricultural lands in the lower 48 states. The tool is available for use at www.comet-farm.com • The Secretary also announced the online release of data collected under the Rapid Carbon Assessment, which will be especially useful for technical experts. This assessment was carried out by NRCS beginning in 2010 to develop statistically reliable quantitative estimates of amounts and distribution of carbon stocks for U.S. soils under various land covers and, to the extent possible, differing agricultural management. Over the course of three years, NRCS collected almost 145,000 samples from 6,000 randomly selected locations.

Uniform, ScienceBased Cover Crop Guidelines: USDA agencies have worked together to provide new cover cropping guidelines. In the past, some producers have encountered conflicting cover crop management issues when working with multiple USDA agencies.

NRCS, Risk Management

Agency (RMA) and Farm Service Agency (FSA) worked together this spring to establish common, science-based guidance on when cover crops should be terminated. The agencies engaged stakeholders, partner universities, and the crop insurance industry to figure out how to make cover crop guidelines straightforward and sensible. Secretary Vilsack announced new guidance for USDA Agencies dealing with cover crops, using a new model based on local climate data, tillage management and soil information to account for daily crop growth and use of soil moisture. With this information, experts determined the latest possible time to terminate a cover crop to minimize risk to the cash crop yield.

RMA, NRCS and FSA will all uniformly refer producers to these guidelines, and will use them to administer programs.

Vilsack noted that the steps build on previous Obama Administration efforts, including an agreement with the U.S. dairy industry to create anaerobic digesters to create energy and reduce greenhouse gases and pollution, promotion of advanced biofuels development, and projects to increase renewable energy and energy efficiency across rural America.

“By taking collaborative, regionally-appropriate steps today to adapt to threats, USDA can help American agriculture continue its tremendous productivity in the years to come,” he said. “We’ve already worked hard to be proactive and ensure that USDA is prepared for modern environmental challenges — but we can’t let up in our efforts.”

Bipartisan bill cuts government red tape WASHINGTON, D.C. — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law Subcommittee Chairman Spencer Bachus (R-AL) and Representative Colin Peterson (D-MN) were joined by and Representatives Lamar Smith (R-Texas), William Owens (D-NY), Howard Coble (R-NC), and Kurt Schrader (DOR) in reintroducing bipartisan legislation to reform the federal regulatory process. The Regulatory Accountability Act (H.R. 2122), which passed the House of Representatives in the 112th Congress, reforms the current federal rulemaking process to lower the costs and improve the quality of new regulations.

Chairman Goodlatte: “America’s job creators are being buried under an avalanche of federal regulations.

When small business owners and entrepreneurs have to divert precious resources to manage costly new mandates that are coming down from Washington, they have fewer resources available to grow their business or create jobs and this has a devastating impact on our national economy. If we are to grow our economy and get more Americans back to work, Washington must get out of the way. The Regulatory Accountability Act solves the problem of overreaching and unnecessary regulation by providing

greater transparency, cost-benefit analysis of new rules, and a more thorough process for high-impact rules.”

Subcommittee Chairman Bachus: “We keep seeing an ever-rising tide of new regulations out of Washington that is holding back job creation and making it hard for our small businesses to stay in business. The Regulatory Accountability Act will help restore some common sense to the byzantine federal regulatory process. Too often major rules are rushed out without proper study or thorough consideration of the costs along with the promised benefits.”

Representative Peterson: “While it is difficult to enact a new law, it’s even harder to get a regulation written correctly.

In many cases, interest groups try to use regulation to interpret the law in their best interest, instead of following the intent of the law. By bringing transparency and accountability to the regulatory process, the American people will be allowed to have a voice in these policy decisions.”

Representative Smith: “Under President Obama, the regulatory system has become a barrier to economic growth and job creation. Federal regulations cost our economy $1.75 trillion each year. Employers are concerned about the costs these regulations will impose on their businesses. So they stop hiring, stop spending and start saving for a bill from Big Brother. But

rather than burdening businesses with more regulations, we need to free up employers so they can create jobs for American workers. The Regulatory Accountability Act places permanent restrictions on regulatory agencies and restores transparency to the regulatory process.”

Representative Owens: “This legislation will help drive more transparent, accountable, and cost-effective regulatory activity that is based on sound science and robust public input. Eliminating unnecessary and overly burdensome regulations is one of my top priorities, and this bill is another step to ensuring we help make government work better for everyone.”

Representative Coble: “This bill will help ensure that future regulations are based on the best available scientific information and that they are efficient. Many of the regulations being issued are founded on a questionable basis and they disregard less costly alternatives. This legislation does not affect the what-

BUSH AUCTIONEERING Dave Bush: 315-287-2436 Willis Shattuck: 315-347-3003

by Mike Oscar For years, the dairy industry has been advocating for easier access to foreign workers, armed with studies designed to demonstrate the economic harm caused by the current system, which allows visas for foreigners to do seasonal work but not for the year-round needs of dairies. The bill approved

by the Senate Judiciary Committee would create three-year visas, renewable for another three years. For a flavor of how important the raging debate over immigration reform is to rural America, one needs to drive only a few hours outside of Washington. Brubaker Farms in south-central Pennsylvania has about 930 cows, mostly Hol-

steins, those iconic black and white animals that many consider to be the world’s best milk producers. Bob (Gray) and I had the pleasure of walking the halls of Congress with Tony Brubaker, owner and operator of Brubaker Farms.

The Brubaker family has operated the dairy farm on 1,800 acres over the past century, a peri-

od that saw the country’s demographics change with more and more young people gravitating to cities. Tony Brubaker said enactment of immigration legislation would ensure a steady workforce for his operation.

“Before I started hiring immigrant workers, it was nearly impossible to keep all positions full.” By 2009, 62 percent of the nation’s milk supply came from farms using immigrant labor, almost exclusively from Mexico, per an industry survey conducted by the Agriculture Workforce Coalition (AWC). Even so, for Brubaker and other

dairy farmers, hiring immigrant labor can be complicated. That is because agricultural immigrant visas are mainly aimed at providing short-term work stints of six to 10 months to accommodate farmers needing field hands to help with seasonal crops. However, in dairy operations, where laborers are needed around the clock 365 days a year, the current visa system is clunky at best, Brubaker said, “it takes six months before they’re decent at the job. And it takes two years before they’re really good at the job for new employees.”

To respond to Tony,

the Senate bill would let dairy operators hire foreign workers for three years at a time to milk their cows, tend to sick livestock and do other farm chores. For all of U.S. agriculture, at least half of the 1.1 million farm workers are undocumented and in the freewheeling Senate debate, nobody is sure which provisions will stand and which might come under attack and be removed.

Any major changes to the bill could fracture the coalition of the “Gang of Eight” that supporters see as essential to this legislative fight.

NMPF commends Senate for proceeding with immigration reform bill From Jerry Kozak, President and CEO, NMPF on June 11: “We commend the Senate for deciding today to limit debate on its immigration reform measure, which demonstrates that they want to move forward and get a bill passed by July 4th.

America’s farmers need action on the immigration issue. Thanks to the vote on cloture Tuesday, the chances are much better now that it will get resolved.

National Milk Producers Federation has made fixing the broken immigration system one of its highest priorities during the past decade. Previ-

ous attempts at creating a comprehensive solution have failed. And although we are still weeks away from passing immigration reform in 2013, today’s vote sends strong signals that a critical mass of the Senate also believes that immigration reform is key national priority.

The Senate bill contains an entirely new visa program for dairy farm workers, one that NMPF has helped to shape. This new approach is better for employers, better for employees, better for law enforcement, better for the economy… it’s better for America.”

WASHINGTON — National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) President-Elect Bob McCan, a cattleman from Victoria, Texas, made the following statement about the vote by the Scientific Commission for the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) to upgrade the United States’ risk classification for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) to negligible risk status: “This announcement

by OIE’s Scientific Commission is very positive news for U.S. cattle producers. The U.S. being classified as negligible risk for BSE by the OIE further solidifies the fact that the safety and health of our cattle and our beef is a top priority for American cattlemen and women. With the implementation of multiple interlocking safeguards by the U.S. beef industry and our partners, we have successfully been able to prevent BSE from becoming a threat to the U.S. beef supply, which remains the safest in the world. The vote by the OIE, an internationally recognized, standardsetting body, is proof that the science-based mitigation measures in place in the United States effectively protect our public and animal health.

“This announcement is an important step forward in increasing export opportunities for U.S. cattle producers.

This is a significant achievement for the United States, our beef producers and federal and state partners who have successfully collaborated on this issue.”

Susquehanna County 4-Hers attend Penn State Cow Camp On May 17-19, nine Susquehanna County 4Hers attended the 2013 Penn State Cow Camp held at University Park.

Members spent the weekend with youth from across the state learning about different aspects of the dairy industry. Those who attended from Susquehanna County were Emory Bewley, Sabrina Clark, Victoria Clark, Kaylee Conboy, PA State Alternate Dairy Princess Callie Curley, Devon Greenwood, Garrett Peters, Tracy Severcool and Kyrston Swingle.

Several different workshops were presented by Penn State staff and the Pennsylvania Dairy Princess Court. Junior members attended Fun with Dairy Products, Calf Sense, Healthy or Not?, and Be a Media Star. Se-

nior members attended workshops that covered What’s Bugging My Cow?, Do the Locomotion, How’s My Hygiene?, and the Perfect Match.

At the afternoon session, members participated in interviews and answered questions about the importance of dairy farming. On the final day, interviews were reviewed and Susquehanna County 4-H member Sabrina Clark was chosen as a finalist. Attendees also enjoyed a speech from Emily Caldwell of Progressive Dairyman, and had fun playing Ag Olympics.

Penn State Cow Camp is held each spring at University Park, and is open to 4-Hers who have an interest in learning about dairy. The Penn State Dairy Science Club hosts the event.

A MESSAGE TO ALL DAIRY FARMERS We’re not the largest Livestock Dealers, we don’t have the largest advertisements, but we can promise to be honest, fair, and caring when it comes to purchasing and selling your complete dairy herd. You and your cows deserve that much. We also have a quality selection of Reg. and Grade cows at all times for you to choose from.

So if you are thinking of buying or selling, from one cow to an entire herd, give us a call. You will be glad you did.

Mastitis is generally classified as clinical or subclinical depending on the degree of inflammation in the mammary gland. Bacterial infections are the most common causes of inflammation of the mammary gland.

Clinical mastitis is

characterized by visible abnormalities in the milk or the udder. The most obvious abnormalities in the milk are flakes, clots and a watery appearance. Abnormalities associated with the udder are heat, swelling and sensitivity

to touch.

The severity of clinical mastitis is described as mild, moderate or severe. Acute clinical mastitis is the severe form of the disease and is characterized by a sudden onset of symptoms and visible abnormalities

such as udder swelling, hardness of the affected quarter, pain, watery milk and reduced milk yield. Cows may also be systemically affected and have fever, dehydration and refuse to eat.

The most common way to detect clinical

mastitis is stripping a few squirts of milk into a strip cup at the beginning of milking to check for abnormalities such as clots and flakes.

Visual observation and palpating the udder for signs of inflammation can also help identify Laporte Farm Equipment, Inc. 7521 Prospect Road #1 Westfield, NY 14787 716-326-4671 Monroe Tractor & Implement Co. 1410 Clark Street Road, Auburn, NY 13021 315-258-0122 17863 Goodnough Street Adams Center, NY 13606 315-583-5486 7941 Oak Orchard Road Batavia, NY 14020 585-343-9263 6 Equipment Drive Binghamton, NY 13904 607-754-6570 Route 5 & 20 at Route 247 Canandaigua, NY 14424 585-394-7260 110 Old Ithaca Road Horseheads, NY 14845 607-739-8741 938 State Route 21 West Hornell, NY 14843 607-324-2110 MPG Truck & Tractor, Inc. 261 Main Street Presque Isle, ME 04769 207-768-5211 Randall Implement Co., Inc. 2991 State Highway 5S Fultonville, NY 12072 518-853-4500 Salem Farm Supply, Inc. 5109 State Route 22 Salem, NY 12865 518-854-7424 Townline Equipment Sales Inc. 1474 Route 12A Plainfield, NH 03781 603-675-6347 Waterman Farm Machinery Co., Inc. 827 Sabattus Road Sabattus, ME 04280 207-375-6561

clinical mastitis but should not substitute for stripping.

Subclinical mastitis is inflammation of the mammary gland that does not create visible changes in the milk or the udder. Although the milk appears normal, subclinically infected cows will produce less milk, and the quality of the milk will be reduced.

In addition, infected cows can be a source of infection to other animals in the herd.

Since there are no visible abnormalities in the milk, subclinical mastitis requires special diagnostic tests for detection.

Somatic cell count (SCC) is the most common test to detect changes in the milk due to the inflammatory process. The greater the SCC in the milk, the higher the level of inflammation in the tissue. There are several ways of getting SCC data on each cow. Having somatic cell counts run monthly on each cow through the DHIA program is one approach.

Conducting cowside SCC monitoring using the California Mastitis Test (CMT) or an electronic testing device is another approach.

Some milking systems have the capability to measure electrical conductivity of milk as a way of detecting subclinical mastitis.

Routine monitoring and detection of both clinical and subclinical mastitis are key components of a herd health program. Knowing the incidence and prevalence of clinical and subclinical mastitis provides the herd manager with information to change milking management practices and improve facilities/equipment as needed for better control of this important disease.
